Nvidia stock (NASDAQ: NVDA) has received a ‘strong buy’ rating from Barclays analyst Thomas O’Malley with a price target of $275. The analyst recommended clients take an entry position into NVDA at its current price of $170-177. He remains bullish on the equity due to domination in the AI sector, and several tech titans depend on its services for their survival. The services include GPUs, enterprise-grade AI, generative AI, and accelerated computing. In addition, they deploy training and optimization for data centers supporting all microservices.
The Barclays analyst Thomas O’Malley has a success rate of 59.04% on stocks that he recommends and has now urged traders to buy Nvidia. If his price prediction of $275 turns out to be accurate, traders could profit nearly $100 per share based on his recommendation. The profits are also more than 50% and remain approximately 55% in upside value. Therefore, an investment of $1,000 could turn into $1,550 if the price prediction turns out to be accurate. That is stellar returns as the AI market is booming, as investors bet on the next-gen technology.

Nvidia Stock (NVDA) Receives Bullish Ratings, Buy ‘Now’ Urges Barclays Analyst
Barclays analyst Thomas O’Malley argued that the ongoing market downturn could be a temporary phase. The Israel-Iran-US conflict, which has also affected the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait, could make stocks soar after it cools down. Nvidia stock is currently near its lowest price point of $177 on Monday. Another fallout from here could push it below the $170 range, marking its lowest level in 2026. If NVDA bottoms out below $170, and when the Iran tensions cool down, the stock could begin to surge.
In addition, the demand for Nvidia stock remains strong with retail and institutional investors making a beeline for investment. Similar to how it delivered stellar gains from 2020 to 2025, traders believe it could replicate from 2026 to 2030. The AI tech is the key to the belief that the advancement of the next-gen tools lies in the hands of the company. Therefore, an investment at its lowest price point, and a waiting period of five to 10 years, could be rewarding.
